Project #272

OBJECTIVE: To show how capacitors delay circuit changes.

Turn on the slide switch (S1) and the LED (D1) comes on if there is
light on the photoresistor (RP). If you cover the photoresistor now then
the LED will stay on for a while, until the 100

μF capacitor (C4)

discharges.

You can replace the 100

μF capacitor with the other values to change

how long the LED stays on for when the photoresistor is covered.

Slow Light Dimmer

Project #271

OBJECTIVE: To make a brief sound.

two, increase the light on the photoresistor (RP) to make it last longer.
